This week was a bit tense for me: on Friday I wrote an exam in Law and Civil rights ( not sure of how well I did though. Do you know the stomach dropping feeling you get when you have read only the first 2 questions of the exam and have no idea or clue what the answers could be? Well, yeah, that is how my exam started!).

After the exam I went to H&M Latvia Showroom as I was invited to preview their Spring 2014 collection as well as some H&M Home items- which was refreshing as I am used to previewing fashion collections! But I will post more information and pictures from the Showroom on Wednesday! So stay tuned for that! 🙂

Anyways, enough about my week. In today’s outfit I am wearing the newest additions to my wardrobe: H&M‘s leather skirt and Foymall‘s houndstooth sweater. I have been wanting to find a leather (imitation) skirt for such a long time and as I was working in the stock room unpacking the delivery boxes, I saw this skirt and I just knew that it had to be mine!

I like the sweater I got from Foymall quite a lot: the quality is satisfying ( it seemed sewn carefully, I checked all seams), it is actually very warm amd cozy, which is a + considering the cold weather. Though, I do wish it had a little bit longer sleeves ( I ordered the sweater in size 38/M, which is one size bigger than my usual size, so if you consider ordering this sweater, I would recommend to buy it one size bigger than your usual size is!).

I love this print on you and the best part of this sweater is the color blocking on the shoulders – that's something unique that i haven't seen on a lot of houndstooth prints. This leather skirt looks perfect with the top and your bold lip adds so much personality! Have a lovely start to your week! <3katsfashionfix.blogspot.com

Hi Maddie! Fingers crossed for the exam! I remember so well that feeling..plus the object isnt easy at all! Im sure you have done the same a great job!

Love the skirt, and that bag is gorgeous too! I'm sure you did well on the exam, whenever I had that feeling I always seemed to get my best grades! 🙂 Looking forward to seeing the photos from the H&M showroom too!

Sounds like you had quite a week – hope you did well on your exams! And your outfit is so cute! I love black and white outfits and your houndstooth sweater is so cute, not to mention your leather skirt is perfect!!

I hope you did well on you exam despite having some trouble with it. It's cool that you got to preview H&M's collections. I'll be waiting for the post on Wednesday. The houndstooth and leather combination is very sleek and stylish.

I love the houndstooth print 🙂 & urgh, don't talk about exams please, i'm in the middle of them (2 down, 2 more to go the next 2 weeks) and I'm having An 'exam breakdown' I hate when this happens, I just cry all the time. Sounds like fun right? :p If you have more exams to come : good luck hun! xx http://www.blondebutterflies.blogspot.com

Oh man, I definitely know that feeling. I had that feeling all the time while I was in college, it's definitely not very comforting. Hopefully you did fine on the exam though! It's always a relieving feeling to get exams over with. Love this look. The pleather skater skirt is such a fantastic staple. I love the houndstooth sweater! The pattern really stands out against the all black palette of the outfit. : )
